Death is inevitable but we still seem flummoxed by it happening. We have all kinds of End of Life policies and procedures which do everything possible to make life difficult for those left behind.
Our language is around loss and unexpected, and grief and being bereft.
Why do we make Death so hard to process in our community and what can we do to normalise it across society?
The funeral home that handled my relative’s death runs regular grief counseling sessions. They mailed me reminders about them near holidays. I didn’t go, but I appreciate the service.
